Which lottery offers better odds than the national lottery in the uK?

Question

Is there another lottery I can do that doesn't have better odds of me being killed on my way to buy a ticket than acutally winning??

Answer 1

As  above but you can now do it on-line.

Answer 2

As you know lottery is gambling, and gambling is made as hard as possible ( odds of winning are terrible) so we dont win, therefore the bookies make money.  Ive heard that you have more chance winning the lottery in the UK, if you do your lifetime of lottery tickets in one go, i.e say you do the lottery once a week, 52 times a year, for an average lifespan of when you could start playing the lottery ( i.e 16 years old) till your 70, that means you would do the lottery over those 54 years about 2808 times.  So what Im saying is that instead of doing it over your whole life, do your whole life lottery gambling on one lottery game.  In doing this you will increase the odds of winning, since you now have 2808 different sets of lottery numbers!  I know it is unlikly that anyone will do this, but it theoretically is the technique with the lowest odds!

Happy gambling

Answer 3

I do the irish lottery.

There are different ways fo doing it so make sure you know the rules.

You do it at a bookies and it's a fixed odds bet so it doesn't matter how many people get the same results as you.

Basically unlike the National Lottery where everyone's quid goes in a big kitty then is divided betwwen the winng tickets,on the Irish Lotto you are placing a bet with the bookie that your picks will come out.

I do a 'Yankee' bet which is eleven lines(minimum unit stake 10p).I pick four balls and need a minimum of two to get a payout.Three is obvously better and all four would be a very nice result.

These are the odds I get at Bet365.com

1 6/1

2 55/1  

3 600/1  

4 7000/1  

5 125000/1

But if you pick five balls on a single line all five exact balls have to get drawn.

It's tricky to explain ,I'm just pointing this out so you can find out properly.
